A GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF RICIIARD BAILEY.
RICHARD 1 B A I L E Y, who died sometime
i between 1647 and 1650, owned an estate in
Rowley, Massachusetts, and was one of the company
that set up the first cloth mill in America, which was
in Rowley, where the mills stand that are owned by
a Dummer at the present time. There is a tradition
in the family to the present day that lie came from
Yorkshire, England, sometime about 1630 or 1635;
^Sand Joshua Coffin says, Richard Bailey came with
Richard Dummer, in the ship Bevis, 150 tons, Robert
Batten, in April, 1633, when he was fifteen years old.
It is said that he was a very pious person, and in a
storm when coming to America, the company «uuiu
call upon him to pray for their safety.
His wife's name was Ednah, by whom be had one
child, whom they called Joseph ; born about 1635 or
a little later: for, when he made bis will, 1C47-S bis
son Joseph was under 14 years of age. Her maiden
name perhaps was Holstead, for their son Joseph ac-
knowledged the receipt of £9 4s in 1667, which was
bis portion of £46 given to the " child or children"
of Ednah bis mother, by 'Win. Holstead. whom he
calls his uncle. After the death of Mr. Bailey, Ednah,
his widow, married before the 15th of the Oth month
in 1649, Ezekiel Northend of Rowley, who probably
took possession of the homestead, and it has been in
the Nortbend family from that time.
THE ONLY CHILD OF R1CHAP.D AND EDNAH BAILEY.
T O S E P H,- son of Richard and Ednah Bailey of
f f Rowley, settled in the north part of Rowley on the
Merrimack not far from the western border of New-
bury, Mass. At the time when several of the Rowley
families first began to settle there ; which part was at
first called the Merrimack lands, but soon incorporated
by the name of Bradford ; and in 1850 the east part of
the town in which his farm was situated was incor-
porated by the name of Groveland, and most of his
original lot is owned by 1). \Y. Hopkinson, and M.
M. Palmer. Mr. Hopkinson, is one of bis descend-
ants and purchased the house and land on the south-
erly si,<e of Main Street, and lives in the house which
Stands on the site where the original one was built ;
and Mr. Palmer has built a bouse on the northerly
*tdc of the street, and nearly opposite the old residence.
He was one of the leading men of the town of
Bradford, accordingly was chosen to fill Civil, Military,
Ecclesiastic and oiher offices of trust: — was one of the
selectmen of the town twenty-three years between
1675 and 1710, and one of the Deacons from the
formation of the church until his death, October 11,
I 1712. His wife was Abigail, 'who died November ] 7,
1735, but who her father was, we have not been able
to learn. Their children were first, Abigail, who mar-
ried Samuel Tenny, and died November 28, 1680,
leaving a daughter Abigail born 22d ci the same
month, who married previous to 1716, a Haseltino;
i second, Elder Richard, born 16 75, who lived in
| Bradford; third, Anne, born 1678, who married Jonas
Platts; fourth, Elizabeth, born 1G81, who married
j Robert Hastings; filth, Joseph, jr., bnrn 1683, who
Jocliicd iti Y~. Ncwhurv • w-rt!, "Kdmh. brsr" 1686.
who married John Hastings; seventh, Dea John, born
1691, who settled in Methuen ; and eighth, Sarah,
born July 6th, 1694, who married March 29, 1710,
James Davis, but we know nothing else of them, ex-
| cepting that the following of their children are on the
records of Haverhill, Mass. viz: Elisba, born Oct. 13,
; 171S, died 1721; Ruth, born Aug. 14. i720: Richard,
j bora Sept. 1, 1721, d. y., and Sarah, born March 18,
1722.

COPY OP A LETTER
from
Sarah M. Buss to Edgar Morton Snow
Bakersfield (Cal.) Dec-2nd 1919
My dear friends,
I am writing a few lines to inclose in Mary's letter —
•.-^Idsnts in the family history. My great-grandfather Matthew
rjell entered the Revolutionary war service from Seiners, Conn.
£4 was plowing in the field- when he heard of the trouble at
txing-ton* He unyoked his oxen and left the plow in the furrough.
le enlisted a company of men and entered the service as Lieute-
..-.t. He took his oldest son, Matthew, who was my grandfather,
rjth him as drummer-boy. Grandfather was 17 y'rs old, at that
Use. He was at the battle of Bunker Hill. After being out several
aonthe and foreseeing no end to the conflict, he 3ent my grand-
father home to help his mother carry on the farm, and Daniel, a
younger brother wen£ to hia father* I don't know how long Daniel
la out, but he drew a pension afterward. Great-grandfather ser-
red three years, retiring with broken health* He left Conn* and
*.«nt to Newport, 33". H. -day native place) and later to Orwell, Vt.
live with his son Silas and died there in 1804.
His wife, my great -grand/no the r lived to be 102 y'rs old. Go far
-a I know, not one of her lineal descendants has lived to my age
— ' 97 years.
My grandfather was a teacher of vocal music for quite a number
'it years, and was Quite eminent in the profession, and never lost
■••■ interest in it, even when his voice was broken with age. He
Lived to be 82 y'rs old* I have written this thinking it might
interest you.
^ f e shall be glad to hear from you whenever you can write, wit/:
fove and kindest wishes,
(Signed) Sarah M. Buss.

THE SIXTH CHILD OL ELDER RICHARD BAILEY.
IlICHARD* born in Bradford, May 9, 1717; mar-
ried, Aug. 18, 1741, Rachel, daughter of Lewis Page,
of Haverhill, Mass. (sister to a Benj. Page), said to have
been i elated to Louis XVI.; another tradition says
that she was a grand dau. of an Abraham Lewis, a
Frenchman, whose wife was a German of Amsterdam,
Holland, and that " they owned a whole street " in that
city. He- settled in the West Parish of Haverhill, on
land adjoining his bro. Amos's farm, on " Old Spicket
Path," (-o called when his lather gave the three broth-
ers, Richard, Eben. and Amos, their farms in West
Haverhill.) where he lived until 1807; when they re-
moved to IIopkinton,N. II., where, he diedabout 1815;
and his wife died about 1S00, aged 82. A few years
after they left, the house was taken down, and in 1329
Dea. Ezra B. Welch, who m. his bro. Amos's g. ch. for
his first wife, built his house on the old cellar. Mr.
Bailey possessed traits of character which led him to
turn his attention to objects somewhat of a dill'erent
nature. While they were content to stay upon their
farms and enlarge their dwellings (when they first set-
tled on their farms, each built a square two-story house
of the same size, with one room in each story, and
with a chimney on the west end, with very large fire-
places, and in these houses they brought up their large
liuuilies. After a while, Eben. and Amos built on to
the west end as much more room and back rooms on
the north side, extending the roof down over them
with the same inclined plane: hence the shape of old
farm-houses in the valley, now- standing.) he was in-
clined to venture — was particularly fond of sports
of the field. \\ hen over four score years old, he was
almost daily seen, with musket on his shoulder, visiting
Creek Pond, over beyond his bro. Ebenezer's resi-

of Ea?t Haverhill b. in Amesbury. Feb. 25, 1728, who
d. Feb. 28, 1801 ; settled in West Haverhill on a farm
of about 125 acres, adjoining his brothers, Richard and
Ebenezer, about one half of which he bought of Samuel
Hopkinson, April 6, 1741, and another part he bought
of Ebenezer Hopkinson, Oct. 30, 1742. It was the
intention of his father, it is said, to educate this son for
the gospel ministry ; accordingly he commenced study-
ing the Latin language ami preparing for college, but
some circumstances unknown to us prevented; he took
a deep interest in ihe ailairs of the church in the place
of his residence. He died June 20, 1800. His chil-
dren were

Susanna, dan. of Elder Samuel Tenney, born Feb. 5,
169-1-5, lived in Bradford until after 1712, when he
removed to the west part of Haverhill (afterwards
Methuen), where he died about 1750. He was a man
of influence in his town, as appears by the records of
Salem, and was chosen one of the deacons of the sec-
ond, or North church, of Methuen (now Salem, N.
II.), .Mar. 3, 1739-10, the same year that this church
w.is gathered, and his wife and daughter Hannah were
received to that church about the same time. It ap-
pears that they had nine children, and probably most
of them were married and had descendants, but we
have not been able to trace out. but a few of the
branches so fully as is desirable. They were Samuel, 4
born at Bradford, Aug. 28, 1713 ; Sarah 4 (the first one
of them recorded on the Haverhill records), b. Sept.
21, 1715; Hannah, 4 b. Sept. 21, 1718; John, 4 b. Feb.
18, 1720-1 ; Joshua, 4 b. Sept. 5, 1723, who probably
in. Sarah Davis, of Amesbury; lived in Salem, N. II.,
until after several of his children were b., then most,
or perhaps all of his family, removed to Dunbarton.
where some of his descendants have since lived, and
had Jo-peh, 5 b. May 27, 1715, Joshua, 5 b. Aug. 3, 1 747,

<J Jonathan Corliss, of Salem, for his 1st wife, who d.
in 1787, aged 66, and 2d widow Mary Hastings (see
p. 156). He settled on a farm very near the borders
j of Methuen, now called the Patee place, where his
children were born, and afterwards exchanged with
: Patee, and removed to North Salem, N. II., where he
died. Tradition says that " he was a very strong man,
and when a certain barn was raised, he could shoulder
; and carry ; either stick' that composed the frame, and
he made a visit to the building the last time he ever
rode out, to see what he had done in his younger
day." Their children (on the records of Methuen),

The above tivo indices point to most ten thousand of the direct descendants of Richard Bailey, of Rowley, besides to about five
Ihoumnd more names, most of which are parents of, or in some way related to the starred names whose descendants are a part of
tins tribe of Richard ; but we suppose that about one thousand direct descendants are missing, and, considering the nature of the
work, there may be errors to correct, therefore we mo>t earnestly wisi; all who are interested to lend a helping band, so that in
* fatu.-c number of the work we may make the account of this tribe of Baileys complete and coriect.

RESEARCHES AKD RECORDER OF MERRIMACK YALLET.
NOTES AND QUERIES.
[Jas.
This department of our work is of full as much interest to readers of the present generation (on account of
the short stories toM) as anything that can be presented. ]f any one can answer the Queries, or give us some
more, they will be lor a future number of the work, where a larger space will be used for them.
7'iik AyciENT Bed of the Merrimack. — It has been
conjectured that this river, at a remote period, emptied
into the Atlantic Ocean where the city of Boston is
now built ; and at another time, perhaps, at some other
point between Boston and Newburyport, instead of
turning in its course and running in its present direc-
tion. Who will give us their views in regard to this
question?

lived in a house that stood on land now owned by M.
G. J. Emery, Esq., and not far from where this John 3
lived, so that probably he was a descendant of

hills; they sell pigs, vinegar, and other produce to the

GEORGETOWN, Mass.
Probably no town in the valley has had more en-
terprising men than this, from its incorporation in
183:3 ; and in fact for thirty years previous to that
time, this part of Rowley was the flourishing portion
of the town, then called New Rowley, and from which
have gone out many noted business men, some to the
Southern States, and some to the neighboring business
places ; but others have stuck to the place of their
fathers, and by their influence have had this town
built up, and common highways made to centre in to
the corner, as the business part is known by; and
since the railroad excitement in the country, they have
been the cause of having the iron track to branch out
from the place in three directions, so that the place is
connected with all other towns in the vicinity by this
kind of inter-communication, and with the large thor-
oughfares.
The place is noted most for the manufacture of thick
boots and shoes, in which Tenney, Little, Winter,
Lovering, are the leading men. And in medicines,
of which Bateman, Carter, Checney, are the leading,
who manufacture Atwood's Bitters, other patent and
botanic medicines in any quantity. It is a great place
tor musical talent. And where can another place be
found where so large a proportion can get up, in a
western-like manner, and make an off-band and witty
speech, and relate so many tales of the communication
with the spirit world and icitches in the dnys of their
grandmothers, now known by spiritual mediums ? Jn
natural scenery and places of interest out of the vil-
lage, they have Bald-pate Hill, in the southwest part,
the highest elevation in Essex county, from which a
fine view of the surrounding country may be seen, and
Little's Grove, where picnics are held by social par-
ties from towns and cities far and near, which lias been
fitri d up by the owner, Samuel Little, in a manner
which makes it exceedingly convenient for such gath-
erings. Among the largest farmers to till the land
are John Kimball, Gorham P. Tenney, Samuel Little,
Sewall Spotlbrd, and Asa Pingree (of Topsfield),
whose farm is in this town; and of other kinds of

The Schools in this Town - . — According to the
report of the Committee for the year ending March,
1838, the past year has been one of more than av-
erage success in our schools, and they say that "Music
is the lubricating material to diminish the friction in
all the machinery of lite," "which has been practised
to some extent in all our schools, with interest and
profit ; " therefore they recommend that the town vote
a small sum, say fifty dollars, as an experiment, for
that object. Number of persons in the town between

he was settled in this place ; and although b'S years of

The Fantastical Celebration. — This town
having become famous for its Fourth of July celebra-
tions of tliis sort, accordingly, on the announcement
that on the anniversary of our national birthday the
present year, a most grotesquely magnificent display
Horses with horns, find cloven feet,
Knock-knee il, stiiF-joiuted, slow and fleet;
Prodigious ears, enormous tails, —
Some monstrous large, some thin as rail?.
After marching through the principal streets, they
halted in front of Hon. Moses Tenney Jr.'.s residence,
where they partook of a collation which he had pio-
vided for the occasion. Map Tenney made a happy
and humorous speech of welcome to his guests, which
was appropriately responded to by Maj. Gen. Boyn-
ton, Chief Marshal, etc., and the procession moved to
the square in front of the Pentucket House, where a
stage was erected on which to make the intellectual
developments for the occasion. The officers of the
day, and oihers to take part, together with several in-
vited guests, were then hoisted upon the platform by
means of a derrick which had been rigged for. the pur-
pose. Joseph Ilervoy, Esq., was introduced by the
Chief Marshal as President of the day, who made a
lew well-timed remarks, then introduced the reader
of the Declaration of Independence, Col. Quattlebum
(Solomon Ne!;-on), when he read the declaration :
" Whereas, the lime having arrived when the colonies
have got to be some pumpkins, it became necessary,
in order to establish justice, and secure the blessings
of free trade and sailors' rights," etc. Next was intro-
duced Gen. Culpepper (Isaac Wilson), who delivered
the Oration. The President then introduced John
G. Whiffletrce, the Merrimack River Barb (Stephen
Osgood), who, both in his inimitable style of delivery,
and 'in the keenness and pith of the admirable and
would be made, e.\avy way exceeding all previous oc- 1 humorous local and personal hits, drew forth unbounded
casions, as early as 7 o'clock in the morning, not less j shouts of applause from the vast audience, aid in the
than 2000 person.? were present from iiie neighboring
towns, besides almost the entire population of the vil-
lage.
It would be in vain to undertake a description of
the strange and unaccountable exhibition.
At the. head of the procession was Maj. Kendall and
the escort of citizens, who had formed themselves into
a " Veteran Association," with a uniform of citizens'
dress, black, with belt, sword and chapeau, accompa-
nied by the Georgetown Band, followed by Maj. Gen.
Geo. W. Boynton, Chief Marshal, and Aids, all
mounted and carrying a most destructive ornament
in the shape of broadswords, cleavers, harpoons, and I
revolvers.
Directly in the rear was a burlesque model of the
frigate Constitution, on board an efficient crew, to-
gether with the Big Byfield Brass Band, etc., which
received the first prize, S10. Next in order, a large
carriage representing the ,L Return from Kansas," oc-
cupied with specimens of home-sick emigrants, drawn
by a " Durham short-horn" acting in harmonious con-
cert with a second-rate mule. Then a car of " South-
ern Emigration to Kansas," with border-ruffians armed
with bowie-knives, whiskey, hemp, etc. Next, a car
from the "underground railroad," with usual passen-
gers — -motto, " Dis is de underground railroad."
Further alon'i in the procession, a comical engine
tailed the " Moral Suasion Locomotive" — a grand
combination of human horse and steam power. An-
nother large carriage represented " Walker's Return."
Together with music adapted to the occasion was a'
huge musical instrument called a " Bumjar," which
was mounted on a platform w Igon, and discoursed;
appropriate music on the route of the procession. But
our .-pace will hardly allow us to particularize further/
There were about thirty vehicles, of all possible shapes, i
sizes, designs and descriptions, drawn by a variety of i
qua irupeds, among which were
composition of which is artistic merit, from which we
make a few extracts :
One evening, as I sat and mused,
My senses got somewhat confused —
And gently dropping olf to sleep, ■
A vision strange did o'er me creep.
*****
What all this meant I could not think,
Till one near by gave me the wink;
And looking upon Haverhill street,
The strangest sight my eyes did meet.
*****
There, in a basket filled with straw,
Was the queerest sight I ever saw:
The Chairman of the selectmen
Did represent a stttiug lun.
*****
Then followed, in a crockery crate,
Oar j>ussey Treasurer of State.
* * * * *
P.. Tenney riding a hoite with wings,
And playing upon a thousand strings —
Sam. Weston seated on a harrow —
lien. Perley l'oorc with his wheelbarrow.
*****
Next Doctors Moody, Cog, and Root,
With patients following on foot.
*****
Professor Emery then passed by,
With giant form and flashing eye,
And carried in his trowsers pockets
Near fifteen dollars worth of rockets,
Vt ith squibs and wheel- of various kinds,
To please the young and tender minds.
Jinkiiis, a scamp on mischief bent,
Touched Emery off, ai.d away he went.
*****
Not half the train had by me passed,
When Kendall blew a horrid blast, •
And Hull began to ring the bell,
Which woke me up, and broke the spell.
If e'er again to sleep 1 co,
I'll dream the re-t, and let you know.

The chosen guide of Israel
Jehovah sought alone :
Hut upward to the heavenly heights,
Pear Lord, our Shepherd lead,
Where e'en the tenderest of his flock
May early climb and feed.
The anointed priest, in ancient days,
With consecrated feet.
Alone, within the sacred vail,
Knelt at the mercy-seat ;
But hither to thy presence. Lord,
Pastor and people guide;
For thou didst rend the vail away
When our Redeemer died.
•
And gently as the heavenly Dove,
By Jordan's sacred flow,
Descended from the opening heavens
When Jesus, walked below, —
So in our midst, dear Saviour, come,
And let the Dove descend
And overshadow with its \v i ? i
Our pastor, guide, and friend.

GROYELAND, Mass.
Topor.TJAriiiCALLY considered, this town may ho
looked upon as a miniature of Eastern Vermont, with
its high hills next to the river covered with vi rduri*,
and the side next to Georgetown covered with \\n<«:s
mostly of the evergreen conifera family, Piutis Siro-
bus and P. r'u/iila being most abundant, and a small
quantity of P. resinosa may be yet found on the east-
erly side of King Street, between Enoch and John
Harriman's residences; and many other parts of the
town are covered with wood, including the pine and
birch Betula lenta and Pi. nigra, which grow on the
river bank, and B. popidifoHa, which grows with Pit >ts
rigida on the light, sandy soil ; elm, I tnui.t Ann n. ntm,
in company with the maple, Acer rubrum. grows in
low lands, and the oak is in all parts of the town : and
a few specimens of many other varieties are inter-
spersed, miking the town truly (rVotrlan I. And from
Hare, Cannon, Hutchins, Hardy, Picnic, Orchard,
Indian, and other hills, you behold most delightful
views of the Merrimack winding its way from Haver-
hill towards Newburyport, the railroad from Haverhill
to Georgetown, the ocean in the distance, city and
towns a little nearer, and rich farms in the valleys at
your feet.
And in regard to the sentiments and habits of this
very social people, you may by a short stay in town
discover that, take them as a whole, they are Yankce-
young-america-independent-specutators, though in all
their tenets in politics, religion, and business, they claim
to be democratic, wise, and good, from the cuiuerv i-

[Jan.
five, cautious, and pious, to those of the other extreme,
■who claim to be '' ever learning." This part of ancient
Bradford seems to have had the same turn for about a
century and a half; and the more conservative part,
which is now Bradford, concluded to let tlicir aspiring
half (lush and set up for themselves, in 1850.
The principal business is manufacturing boots and
shoes for men's wear, which are sold to the retailers
in all the towns in Essex North, and in Rockingham
County as far oil' as Portsmouth ; and Geo. Savary
used to have an extensive trade all the way " down
ca-t " to Nova Scotia; and in South Groveland, where
a second post ollice was established in 185— .there is a
factory building on the site of the old Curictbn grain-!
mill, built by Wm. Perry for a machine-shop, with a
brass foundry, in 183-, and afterward occupied by ]
Swetfand Perry, of Exeter, for manufacturing shoe-
thread and twine; but they sold out in March, 1853,|
to Straw, Tewksbury, and Webster, who enlarged it
in 1854, which is now 142 feet long, and on an aver-
age about 50 feet wide, besides the counting-room and
gas-house, which are separate buildings; and they
manufactured seamless meal-bags until 185 6; A little
lower down Johnson's brook, on which this stands, is a
siw and grain mill belonging to the heirs of Aaron
Parker, the latter built where the old one stood that I
was burnt down, 1853-4. In that part taken from
Boxford, in 1856, and annexed to the south-west parti
of the town, Solomon Spofford (like the SpolTbrd race
who often have a mill in a high valley where a pond i
of water can be caught in a. shower) has a mill where;
he saws, grinds apples, churns his butter, as well as
runs machines used in his business. Nathaniel Par-
ker's tannery, noith of Parker Street, and very near
Bradford line, is on a small stream that carries his
bark-mill; Dean Parker's bulling machine is oper-
ated by horse-power, while the Spoll'ord shoe manufac- 1
hirers have run a like machine, by the stream which
runs under their factor)' ; but the girls who run the va- I
rious kinds of stitehing-machines which have within a ;
few years past been invented to close and bind shoes i
and boots, have to do it by the strength of the right
arm. I
The business of the town is done on the main, wind-!
ins! street extending from Kimball's corner, on the old I
Salem way in S. Groveland by the river, to W. New-'
bury, which is almost a continuous village ; the depot'
on the railroad, built in 1S51, is used by the business
of this town and W. Newbury, which makes a lively
show of boxes and bales for a country town. And the
old chain ferry at the wharf, three-fourths of a mile
from the depot, which commenced running April 28,
1 8 "2 , is still in existence, and shortens the distance to!
Haverhill about three miles, if you do not prefer going;
upon the cars drawn by steam.
Of the business done here, the names of the persons'
engaged may be found in this work from page nine
to fifty-three. The principal ones are the following:
of Boots cV Shoes, the. Balch, Curtis, Huntress, Park-
ers, Pages, SpofTords, Savarys, Slickneys, and Walker:!
BulcheTi Tenney; Carpenters, Hardy, Ilopkinsons,
Merrill, Shaw; Coal-dealer, Thomas II. Balch; Far-\
inm, Balehes, Browns, Burbank, Ilardys, Harrimans,
Ilopkinsons, Jaqucs Lunt, Morse, J. II. Ordway, j
Palmers, Parkers, Heed, Rollins, A. & M. Stickney, J.
1 enney. Wood ; also the town owns a large farm, and
li-k. of Salem, has the Geo. Bacon place; Leather
Manufacturer, N. Parker: Milliner, Mrs. Watkins;
l'ainttr, Balch; Physician, Spofford; Stable-keepers, j
Ci.irk, with Bundlett, and Pemberton : School-teachers,''
febout twenty-five, who make it their business to teach |
the whole or part of the year; Traders, Atwood,
Greenough, Hudson, Parkers, and Savary.
Amos. J. Saunders (p. 51) is the present principal
of Merrimack Academy, established here in 1821.
Rev. Dr. Perry is the sen. pastor of the church founded"
lure in 17-28, and Rev. Mr. Doggctt is acting pastor.
The Independent Society, who obtained control of the
Methodist Church, have not regular preaching. The
Groveland Mutual Fr.Ins. Company is in a prosperous
condition. The literary society of the young men is
nourishing. Most of the town fall in with the North,
or Republican party of politicians.
Dis>rrssiON\ — On account of continued ill-health,
Mr. Pickard (pp. 31, 50) is dismissed by a mutual
council, Jan. 1857.
Accident. — John B. Hardy came very near being
killed by a tree falling upon him, Feb. 10, while felling
a tree in the wood ; but his neighbor Tyler Hardy be-
ing by chance in the wood near by, went to his rescue.
New School-house.- — At a meeting of the Dis.
in the business part of the town, No. 4, Mar. 14th, it
was voted to build a school-house, not to cost over
$'-'500. Accordingly one was built. during the sum-
mer of 1857, on the corner back of the Independent
Church, for the accommodation of both departments —
the lower story to be used for the primary, and the
upper one for the higher school ; and the winter term
commenced in it. The house, land, out-buildings, and
furniture cost about $3000, to be paid for in four years,
a quarter part to be assstssed each year. Xiie two
old houses were sold, one to Rev. Dr. Perry, which
stood on his land, nearly in front of his residence;
and the other to L. Balch, who has fitter! it up for his
son-in-law, Carlcton, to dwell in. Each of them
brought about $200.
Okmnatiox. — -Mr. Thos. Doggett, who came from
Madison, Wis., to this place, was ordained and settled
as colleague pastor with Dr. Perry over the Congrega-
tional Church and Society in this place, Mar. 4, at
which time Prof. Barrows (Mr. Doggett's wife's father),
of Andover, preached the sermon. The following
original hymn, by Miss L. P. Atwood (p. 10), was
sung:
How shnll a guilty, fallen race
Hear the sweet messages of grace?
How learn of Jesus' dying love,
And mansions bright prepared above?
Not from an angel's lips shall flow
These heavenly truths to men below;
But mortals shall the news proclaim,
Till all have heard a Saviour's name.
The joyful tidings we have heard;
To us lias come the written word;
To us have teachers too been given,
To show our souls the way to heaven.
Now, as before Thy throne we bend,
Oh, let thy Spirit here decend,
And consecrate thy servant, Lord,
To preach the riches of thy word!

Haverhill: charge to the pastor by Dr. J. P. Cleve-
land, of Lowell; right-hand of fellowship by Key.

Fairest of the gifts of Heaven !
Waethei in uie clouds ot even
Kindling all the western sky
With celestial ecstasy;
Or, when earth adorns her brows
To receive her royal spouse,
With the diamond's changeful hues
Glittering in the morning dews;
Or, ii lake, with placid face
Sleeping in the world's embrace.
*****
Then bethink ye what were earth
In a universal dearth ;
Not a leaf, or bud, or flower,
Drinking in the summer shower;
Not a blossom, not a fruit,
Not a green and pulpy root,
Not a lichen, moss, or reed,
Not a solitary weed!
*****
Man himself, though often dry,
Is called a vessel; know you why?
'T is because, when rightly viewed
He contains so much of fluid;
Earth can claim a single quarter —
All the rest is only water '
They had a good time that day, and something was
done afterwards; but dull times, or something else,
knocked the enterprise
To adorn and grace our common,
Lined with paths for men and women.
A Cow Attacked Wm. II. Branch, Aug. 17, and
hia clothes were nearly all stripped from him, and sev-

LOWELL, Mass.
Wiuttier, and several others, have written sketches
of this " Queen City of the Valley." The best is that
of Chailes Cowley,' Esq., of Lowell, which was pub-
lished, in 1856, by E. D. Green, with his " Hand-
Book of business in Lowell ; " and we hope to see a
larger work, which will use up many more materials
winch naturally may be discovered. 1 Upon this six

square m'li'S of territory, where tlic ruile and idle
Pawntickets came to fi~h in the spring time, now are
permanently living about forty thousand souls, — one-
third being foreigners (including representatives from
every quarter of the g!obe), and two-thirds of these
foreigners are Irish, — which is about two hundred
times as many inhabitants as there were in 1820, when
pomu half-dozen firms, owned and occupied by intelli-
gent and substantial families, embraced the chief part
of the present city. When this part of Chelmsford
wis incorporated, in 1S2G, by the nmie of Lowell (in
honor of Francis C. Lowell, who, with Jackson, Wpr-
th-n, M ioi!y,and others connected with them in man-
ufacturing at Wakhatn, were the fust to conceive of
using these falls to enlarge their business), there were
but about 2500 inhabitants, and but twelve tax payers
who paid taxes to the amount of $20 apiece; but
there are now twelve great Manufacturing Corpora-
tions, which have fifty mills, using a water power of
about ten thousand horse power, their aggregate cap-
ital being about fourteen millions of dollars; while
the total value of real and personal estate in the city
is about twenty-two millions, and the farms around
Lowell have been enhanced, in the aggregate, full one
million dollars.
In these mills are four hundred thousand spindles in
motion, consuming annually thirty-six million pounds
of cotton, the product of the South, and about five
million pounds of wool, the product mainly of the
West; supplied from half a million sheep ; from three
to six thousand tons of wrought and cast iron, and
enormous quantities of other materials, to aid in chang-
ing the raw cotton and wool into cloth. Light or ten
thousand girls, ami about half as many men and boys,
are employed, and the annua! product of this matc-
3 111, machinery, and labor, is over eighty million yards
of cotton cloth, one and a half million yards of broad-
cloth .and cassiinere, nearly a million yards of carpets,
besides printed and bleached goods, together with
other cloths, rugs, batten, wadding, about two million
dollars worth of machinery, etc. About two hundred
miles of cotton goods are woven every day. Cloths
are not the only goods manufactured here. Among
the numberless articles, there are manufactured twenty
million feet of lumber, which is principally derived
from the region in the vicinity of the White Moun-
tains, and is driven down the river during the spring
freshets. Now, how many women would it require to
mike the cloth by hand, as our great-grandmothers
rlid, and how many horses to supply the place of the
Boston and Lowell Railroad since it was made, in
1335?
Manufacturing is not the only interest which this
'■ Manchester of America" is concerned in, and we
would fain notice, if space would admit, some particu-
lars in regard to the public buildings, and other works
of art, and natural scenery, schools, moral, benevolent.
rc'igious, and other institutions, well fitted to make it
'•i he noble city of the arts;" but we must pass to
notice the passing events.

MANCHESTER, N. H.
Tins first-born city of New Hampshire, most beau-
tifully laid out on a plain 00 feet above the river, with
its broad Elm Street, nearly straight for over a mile
in length from North to South, provided with ever-
running fountains of good spring water fitted for man
and beast, has its History written by lion. Chandler
E. Potter, and published in 1850, which has inter-
woven with it the early history of the country, the
Indians of New Hampshire, the Scotch-Irish of which
the first settlers of Manchester and vicinity were
mostly composed, French, Indian, and Revolutionary
wars, together with many other things which naturally
are interesting to be connected with the history of a
particular locality.
In the evening after the Centennial Celebration,
Oct. 22, 1851, the citizens met in the City Hill, and

27
fore 1810, and among the remarks of Rev. Mr. Wal-
lace (who delivered the address in the day time) ho

mother, in company with others, used lo'travcl on foot
to Boston, a distance of forty miles, and back in three
days, to sell their linen, which they manufactured with'
their own hands;" but now are made an immense
quantity of many kinds of cloths, seamless bags, paiK'r,
locomotives, edged tools, etc., and shipped on the rail-
roads to all parts of the world. And instead of the
gathering of poor fishermen at the falls, where an im-
mense number of eels, alewives, .-had. salmon, and
other fish were, caught, before manufacturiii" cities
! were built on the Merrimack, the richest merchants of
! the Atlantic cities come and buy of the capitalists who
use the water and falls to manufacture the goods: so
that going to Derryfield is not, as the common saving
I used to be, going out of the world ; ami instead of
! living on "eel beef," herds of cattle are driven into
j the city and devoured; and says the Citizen, of Lo-
well: " There are, in Manchester, four banks, forty-
one schools, fourteen churches, three savings banks, n
I city library of some 6000 volumes, and a population
I of 25.000. In 1S38, the population within its limits
was not far from fifty persons."

seen for six weeks. " One day his son Luther saw
some eyes glistening through a crack in the barn, and

METHUEN, Mass.
The beautiful cascade of the vallev, where the
water of the Spicket descends over a nearly perpen-
dicular precipice of about thirty-six feet, and called
the Falls, together with the many well improved and
productive farms, render tins town distinguished —
the east part of which belonged to Old Haverhill until
1825, and until the line between the two States was
fixed where it now is, it included a good poniun of
Salem, N. II., and since that, until the sandy plains by
the bridge were taken to. make the city of Lawrence,
the town had nearly the shape of Haverhill, with about
the same territory.
The first settlements were made by Swans and Bod-
wells; the former lived generally on the eastern side
of the Spicket river (which centrally divides the town),
and the latter lived on the western side ; but soon alter
others came, among them a Barker, one of whose
descenda»ts was a Stephen Barker, Esq., who was a
Republican ; and, travelling abroad at the time of the
last (1812) war with England, put up at a public house,
the landlord of which was a Federalist. \Yi>hing to j-tart
early the next, morning, paid for his lodging over night ;
but soon after retiring, (bund his led swarming with
bed-bugs. Considering himself imposed upon, a tier
spending a restless night, and while dressing himself,
composed the following, which he wrote ami addr< -m d
to the landlord, by which to remember bun.
Join Federal men, mid Federal blip,
To pet the cash and suck the. blood,
And fatten on the stranger;
The twenty cents paid for thy bed,
Is not a mill for each bug's head;
Good-bye to thy bed-chamber.

A Silver Tea-Set was presented, by surprise, to|
Joseph R. Sanborn, who retires, after beimj nine years j
overseer of the spinning-room of the mill, by the
young ladies of that room, who made a trip to Law-
rence, at which place he was residing, eve. of March
2 1 st. By an extract from the presenting address at
the time, we learn that " Life is but the journey of a
day: we set out in the morning, our hearts buoyant'
with hope; we form associations in childhood which!
are dear to us; we linger with them for a moment,;
when we are hurried along down the stream of
time, constantly forming; new and severing the old ties j
of friendship, — some of which may linger in our minds
like troublesome dreams, while others are like flowers
in our pathway, to cheer us on our wearisome journey
of Life. The kind feelings which has ever existed be-
tween us during the many months and weeks which
are numbered with the past, will ever be recalled
with pleasure. "While we have met from day to day to
toil and spin, a kindred feeling has grown up between
U3 which can never be broken. Although this little
group may be scattered far and wide, and we roam in
different climes, yet the spinning-room at Spiggot
Falls will be the nucleus around which our minds
cluster with filial regard."
Sam. Tovvne, who drove the coach between Me-
thuen and Lawrence about seven years, leaves early
this summer, and goes to drive between South Danvers
and Salem.
A House ix the Clouds. — We learn from J. M.
Grosvenor, M. I)., that a novel and very beautiful phe-
nomenon was observed by himself and his wife, at
about six o'clock P. M., Monday, July 20th, while in
their garden east of their dwelling-house. They say :
" A dark cloud was rising in the west, and steadily ad-
vancing, indicating wind rather than raiu, when a
smart breeze sprang up from the northwest, and the
cloud seemed to change its appearance, assuming a
light, fleecy appearance, reflecting white light, which
excited attention; and, on looking up in the direction
of the centre of the cloud, a perfect picture of the
house of widow Stephen Currier (p. 131) was seen
suspended in the air at an elevation of about thirty-five
or forty degrees, the house being half a mile west of the
point of observation, and could not be seen from that
point, in consequence of intervening objects.
Pearls. — It is said that John G. White and
Branch G. Gutterson discovered some this summer,
estimated to be worth S00O to S1000 ; consequently,
among those of Essex Count), the Methuen people
have taken the fever, and the Xewburyport Herald of
July 14th says: " We should not wonder if our clam
and mussel flats should turn out a crop before long.''
Dkstructive Fire. — About 111-4 o'clock, Tues-
day eve. of Oct. 6th, a fire was discovered in the front
room of the hotel situated on the easterly side of
Turnpike Street, which was leased a few weeks pre-
vious by Geo. Varnev, and owing to some difficulty in
petting water, the flames soon spread to all parts of the
building, which was, with contents, destroyed, together
with two stables, a shed, and dwelling-house — all be-
longing to Robert Taylor. One. of the stables was sit-
uated end to the eastern side of the hotel, on a passage-
way nearly at right angles with Turnpike Street, which
runs by the northern side of the hotel and this stable
to another passage-way which runs by the eastern end
of the stable ; the other stable was situated on the other
side of the first-mentioned passage-way, and with the
street which is parallel with the passage-way on the
northern side of it ; and the shed was on the westerly
end of it, extending along on the street nearly to Turn-
pike Street ; and the house was on this street, between
the east end of the last-named stable and the passage-
way that runs by the eastern end of the first-named
stable. These five buildings were "talued at S9U00. On
the street nearly at right angles with Turn]. ike Street,
and south of the hotel, was a block, on the eastern fide
of the hotel and near it, in the lower part of which
was a meat-shop and a tailor's shop, wbi ( h iiad a con-
nection with another building, the south-western i orner
of which was joined on to the north-eastern < orner of
this block, and in the upper part was the dwelling-place
of Lahan, and lower part of Hart, the s!an-wa\ being
outside of the northern side of the main block. The
next one to this block was a dwelling-house villi tum-
or more families, situated eastward of the last-named
block, on the coiner of the street, anil the passage-
way leading up by the first-mentioned stable to the
said house of Taylor; then, on the other side of this
passage-way, and east of the same, was the house of T.
J. Richardson, which was consumed, villi his shop north
of it, situated near the east end of the first-mentioned
stable — Mr. Richardson's los; being about Si'ono. ']].,.;
house nearly opposite the said tailor's slop, belonpii g
to the heirs of Abiel How, came very near being di -
stroyed, and the three-story block on the westerly side
of Turnpike Street, and nearly opposite the hotel, was
nearly consumed, and belonged to the Waldo estate —
that estate loses $9000. The Town House, which
stands close by the southeast side of the three-story
A aiuo IjiGciv, narrowly escaped, j he gooes, utiiuij.- . : ,
horses, etc., were mostly saved ; but six large hog-;, in
one of the stables, were burned to death. It was the
largest fire ever experienced in the town, and for a
while threatened half the entire village. Sonic twelve
families, mostly Irish, were suddenly turned out of
doors. A spontaneous meeting of the citizens was held
eve. of Oct. 7th, and adjourned to the next evening,
when they voted thanks to the firemen of Lawrence,
etc.
ENGRAVINGS. — The Baptist folks present them-
selves with a lithographic likeness of their pastor, B. 1'.
Branson, and there was talk by some persons of the
place of having the village lithographed.

NASHUA, X. II.
Dunstable, the very large township lying in the
valley included on both sides of the river, and in both
States, the whole or parts of a large number of the
modern towns, and Nashua is in the centre of this ter-
ritory"; and we learn from an excellent history of this
old township, written by ('has. .1. Fox, Esq., and pub-
lished in 1st'', that a settlement was commenced by
settlers from Boston, and some other places, several
years before 1(375 ; the first " housue-lotts," were laid

nut on the neck, South side, and at tlie mouth of Sal-

town previous to its incorporation in 174G, by New
Hampshire, were Acres, Adams, Blanehard, Beale,
Bancroft, Colburn, Cummins, Cook, Collin, Darby-

O'd Dunstable was a frontier settlement for about
bO years, and a song of the great fight in i 7 25 begins :
Of worthy Captain Lovewell I purpo-c now to sin?,
How valiantly iie serveM his country and his kin?:
lie ami his valiant soldiers did ran^c the woods full wide,
And hardships they endured to quell the Indians' pride —
which, it has been said, was composed that year; and
another ballad, commencing :
What time the noble Lovewell came,
With fifty men from Dunstable,
The cruel l'equot tribe to tame,
With arms and bloodshed terrible, —
Then did the crimson streams that flowed
Seem like the waters of the brook,
That brightly shine, that loudly dash
Far down the cliffs of .A^ioehook —
are in Fox's History, where he gives an account of
tiiis bloody battie, in which several from this town
were killed.
The business part of the place dates back to about
1800, when there was but a tavern and a store, and
two or three dwelling-houses, and called Indian Head,
but after 180 J, when the l'ost Olfiee was established,
they named it Nashua, and from that time to 1820 the
growth was gradual, but, after manufacturing was es-
tablished, grew so that the whole town was called
Nashua in 1837, and since, except it was divided on
account of a difficulty in locating the City Hall when
it was built, in 1S12-3, when the North part was in-
corporated by the name of Nashville, which it held
from 1312 to 1853, when they were united and incor-
porated as a city ; and now, as we learn from the
Directory of Tyler &Leavitt, published in 1S57, the
receipts of the Post Office, in 1803 of less than twen-
ty-five cents per quarter, has increased to over SI 200,
and that "'Nashua now contains 125 streets, avenues
and courts; about 11,000 inhabitants; 3 cotton man-

, Burglary. — The store of Capt. Solomon Spaul-
diug was broken into Jan. 6, and a few dollars in
| change taken from one drawer; the thief was prob-
j ably frightened by an artificial alarm connected with
another drawer, so not much was stolen.
Awful Death. — On the morning of Jan. 9, a
little past six o'clock, smoke was discovered to be issu-
ing from the lobby which is situated in the south-east
corner of the City II ill basement. The fire was soon
extinguished, but the smoke was so dense that the
lobby could not be reached very soon; finally, it was
found that three men, who were confined there for
drunkenness about midnight the night before, were
dead. How the fire originated is a matter of conjec-
ture; the two cells were made of plank, and it is sup-
posed that it originated in the east cell, where Saun-
ders was confined. Coroner J. Rockwood called a
jury of inquest, and they rendered a verdict that they
were suffocated by the smoke. Their names were,
Win. Saunders, who left a wife and family, John Sul-
I livan, and John llaudine, from 1G to 18 years of age.

NEWBURY, Mass.
This most ancient town on the Merrimack, and sit-
uated at its mouth, which at first included what is now
Newburyport and West Newbury, has an excellent
history, written by Joshua Coflin, Esq. Most of the in-
habitants reside on the road, which is a continuation
of High Street, leading from Newburyport over the
Old Town bridge to Rowley, and in the western end
of the town which composes a part of the Old Byfield
precinct, — the eastern part being covered mostly with
salt marshes, and owned in small lots by individuals
living up in the valley, all the way to Andover; the
lots yielding enough lor a gondola freight, and have
been occupied by the regular line of their ancestors
from the early settlement of the town. The southern
side is covered with fresh meadows mostly, and through
it runs the crooked and sluggish river Parker, from
which the first settlers landed at a place near Old
Town bridge, when they came around from Ipswich in
their boats to take possession of this land. — and much
of the northern portion is thinly settled. It is a pood
farming town where it is cultivated, and formerly large
quantities of onions were raised, and among the farm-
ers, the following individuals, I understand, are the
largest, viz.: Capt. Daniel Adams, David S. Caldwell,
Eben. P. Ferguson, Edward H., Jos. and Tristram Lit-
tle, Joseph Lunt, John Northend, Calvin Noyes Perley,
T. M. Plummer, Gorham P. Sargent, and Green
Wilds, who occupies the farm of Dununer Academy.
The next business of most importance is the improve-
ment of the water privileges; and at the Pearson's
Miils Village, by the depot, on the Newburyport Rail-
road in Byfield, are grist-mills owned by Joseph and
Tappan Pearson, and saw-mills owned by Benj. Pear-
son, who has common and veneer saws. A little far-
ther down the river Parker you find the mills of Par-
kin and Morrill, where they prepare different flavored
powders from one of the most deadly vegetables to be
found in the world, which is taken solely by one spe-
cies of animal in the world, — and in an uncommon
way, \iz., by applying it to the schueiderian membrane

diaphragm is so violently excited that a large quantity
of the slimy stuff is ejected at the time of the convul-

Dummer Academy. — The examination at the
close of the summer term, July 8th, was very satis-
ftctory to all the spectators. The great revolution
in the character of the public schools in Newbury,
Newburyport, and vicinity, had the effect to decrease
the patronage of Old Dunimer, and for a number of
years after 1830, but little interest was felt by I he
public in this institution. But since the appointment
of Mr. Ilensliaw as Principal, it has been constantly
"rowing in excellence and public repute, as it was at
the beginning, when "Old Master Moody" kept it
until 1789. One of his pupils, Enoch Boynton, with
silvered beard, who was said to be the only surviving
pupil, was upon the platform.
The performances of the pupils in the. afternoon was
pood, and showed close application to training, in voice
and style. The school exercises closed with music by
the Thompson Glee Club from Newburyport. Then fol-
lowed addresses by Rev. John Pike, of Rowley, the
President of the Board of Trustees; Hon. Asahel Hun-
tington, °f Salem ; Hon. Allen W. Dodge, Mr. Hath-
away, of Medford ; Hon. Henry W. Kinsman, of New-
buryport ; Dr. Henry C. Perkins, of is. ; Bev. Sam'l
J. Spalding, of N., who was, at the annual meeting that
day, elected a Trustee in place of Rev. G. Punchard,
of Boston, who resigned. The services were closed by
prayer from Rev. Mr. Carr, of Rowley.
Noah Noyes, the oldest man in Newbury, in his
87th year, made his annual visit to Boston on foot, in
July. He went over the old road, tramping oil" like a
lad of sixteen, and returned on Friday, not so much
wearied but that he could attend church all day the
next Sabbath, walking some two miles from his home.
Ax Onion, about as big round as a quarter of a
doll iiygrew upon a seed onion of Frederick S.tickney,
in Old Town ; and an Apple-tree, belonging to S. M.
Noyes,put forth four courses of blossoms this summer.
The samj' Old 'Coos. — On Wednesday, Oct.
1 tth, Jewett Rogers, jr., of Byfield, killed a raccoon,
on land of II. G. O. Johnson of Newburyport, that
weighed 25 1-2 pounds. He had all the spirit of the
coons, and tore a dog half to pieces, frightened a wo-
man, and made fight with Mr. Rogers, before he was
shot.
Political. — At an enthusiastic Banks meeting in
Byfield, eve. of Oct. 15th, Win. M. Rogers presided,
and Parker Dexter, Esq., of Worcester, lectured ; and
Oct. 29th, at the Town Hall, the Republicans of this
district (No. 17), met in convention, Hon. Daniel Ad-
ams presided ; and Alonzo P. Jaijues was chosen Sec-
retary. Benj. I'M wards, Jr., was nominated for Rep-
resentative. A District Committee was chosen, viz. :
Win. D. Rogers, of Newbury ; John M. Richards, of
Rowley, and Moses Stiles, of W. Newbury. At a
meeting of the citizens of the District, at Byfield, Oct.
22d, Maj. Ben. Perley Pooie was nominated as a Re-
trenchment and Reform Candidate, who replied in a
letter of most beautit'ul expression.
A House Killed on the Eastern Railroad at Four
Rocks, eve. Oct. 30th.
Festival. — A varied entertainment was given
at Parker Hall, on Tuesday eve. Nov. 3d, and re-
peated a few evenings afterwards. Among the novel-
ties was represented a farmer's kitchen of olden
times.
The Canker Worm and Onion Maggot have
made a terrible havoc this year. Some of the farmers
reploughcd their onion-fields and put in turnips, and
some propose to raise tobacco in future, where they
have raised onions.
Too Bad. — A father and son, living in the shadow
of the Great Rock, in Dog town — (by the way. this
"Dogtown," has been greatly improved since William
Lucy has employed them to work on his shoes) — who
have run a S'liii-weekly foot-train to Newburyport for
many years for a freight of rum, in coming home one
' clay became bewildered, somehow, when within a short
distance of home, and inquired the way to Great
Rock; a W. Newbury wag, going to Newburyport,
piloted them to the jail, some four miles out of their
way, and told them that that was the great rock for
them. The victims at once commenced talking very
loud about Pearson's Mills, in which the clam seemed
to take a prominent place.
A Wild Cat was caught by Jewett Rogers in a
rabbit snare, Nov. Tth, upon the land of Col. Daniel
Adams. This wild cat weighed fifteen pounds, was
gray, ringed with black from the head to the tip of the
tail, — a ferocious animal, that one would not wish to
scratch with.
Summary Items. — Goodrich was arrested eve. of
Aug. 8th, by Deputy Sheriff Smith, and Marshal

Pearson's Mill Village. — The translation of " Dante's
Vision" by James C. Peabody, Esq., the Byfield poet,
is spoken of by literary men as a work of superior
merit. — Winter term of 15 weeks at Dummer Acad-
eme, commenced Dec. 10th.
NEWBURYPORT, Mass.
Sixce the regular lines of large steamers from Eng-
jhnd, and all the railroads, have centred in Bo ? ton,
I most of the business done by merchants residing here,
as well as those of Salem, have had to load and mi-
j load their merchandise at that great centre of New
I England, so that these cities, on the Eastern Railroad,
J are two quiet, good places of retirement from the bus-
I lie of more business places, as not much but ship-
I building, manufacturing cloths in four steam-mills,
and fishing, is being done here at present. But this_
place, of about 14,000 inhabitants, has over 25 good"
schools, besides the Putnam, all free, and, within the
distance of a few minutes' ride on the railroad, the
Normal School, at Salem, together with Dummer,

the Valley, and Topsfield and Andover, likewise on
the railroad not far oil"; has over 1 5 religious societies,
most of them with large and flourishing churches, of
the old Puritan stamp of Calvinistic sentiment of the
Old Church still in existence in 0. T., with Dr. "With-
in. 'ton for pastor ; and has many charitable societies,
in good order, besides a large public library to make
thi'in intelligent, good, and happy, which they appear
to improve and enjoy.
And, besides, they have things outward to enjoy,
ami improve their mental and physical powers — reg-
ular, wide, and shady streets, places for picnics, the
river, Plum Island, and the ocean, giving them a
chance to breathe fresh air in the. fields, up back, or
swim, sail and fish on the water, and, when tired of
play, come home and partake of the delicious fruits
gathered from the gardens planted by their fathers.
Then, if we look back to days past, we find that
this town, when first set off from Newbury in 1 704,
did not include one square mile of territory, and re-
in lined the smallest town iu the state, until the year
1851, when it was enlarged so as to include all of its
parent on the west as far as Turkey Hill and Arti-
choke river, Running between it and West Newbury;
and in the same year it was incorporated a city ; that
since 1G93 the courts of Essex have been held in this
N. E. corner of that county, and the court-house, by
the Frog-pond, was built in 1804; that the Newbury-;
port turnpike to Boston was finished in 1806 ; and
that, in the same year, over one-twelfth of the shipping
of Massachusetts was owned in Newburyport; and we
see that this place was great and prosperous, accord-
ing to its size, until the great fire of 181 1 swept over
many acres and destroyed property to the value of
$1,500,000, by which, and the great sacrifice of men
and property in the Revolutionary and the last wars.
it was greatly reduced; but they have built many
beautiful and substantial ships, and maufactured many
yards of fine, nice cotton cloths, since.
This is the place where the eccentric Dexter lived,
when he bought up a ship-load of warming-pans and
sent to the West Indies; where Theophilus Parsons,
the eminent jurist, lived, when J. Q. Adams studied
law with him ; where Jacob Perkins, the great me-
chanic, was born in 1706, and lived 50 years; where
the great George Whiteficld was when he died, in
17 70. But in Coffin's History of Newbury, with
others of this town, and in the Newburyport Herald,
a vast amount may be learned in regard to this place,
so we pass to the events of 1S57, hoping, in a future
number of this work, to present a beautifully written
sketch of this place, by one of its present residents.
Watch Night. — As is the usage with some re-
ligious denominations to meet on the evening of the
year, and continue in prayer and praise until the morn-
ing of the new year, accordingly the two Methodic
churches of this city held their meeting together in
the Purchase-st. Church. On this occasion, the ser-
mon was by Rev. Sir. Dwight, after which an hour
was spent in relating Christian experiences; a.season
of silent devotion followed, and then an audible ex-
pression of thanks for the grace and mercies of the
past year, and a prayer for their continuance ; the
singing of the covenant hymn, and the benediction
closed the exercises, and immediately after the com-
mencement of 1857 the congregation retired. It was
a meeting of much interest.

The Gyrascope, than which, a greater paradox
never vexed the sages, is attracting the attention of
mechanics and scientific men. Various theories have
been invented to account for this seeming paradox.
If we mistake not, however, it has remained tor some
of our intelligent Newburyport mechanics to discover
a theory which fully accounts for all the phenomena,
and which can be demonstrated to be the true one.
The above we extract from the Newburyport Herald,
wherein it is described, and exposition of the theory,
as it is explained to the editors by Me?-srs. Joseph
Alley, the organ builder, Daniel II. Smith, machinist
(who has completed one of the instruments which
weighs about twenty pounds, the largest one ever
made), and Norman C. Greenough, the watch-maker.
